Ronald Shaw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronald Shaw (1920 - 9 August 1945) was a corporal in the Royal Air Force. He is noted for being the first prisoner of war to Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims and the second non-Japanese (the first being a Chinese civilian).
He was captured when his plane was shot down by Japanese forces near Java, and was then sent to a prisoner camp in Nagasaki, where, on August 9 1945, he was killed when an Atomic Bomb hit the city.
